ICD-10-PCS 0BDP4ZZ converts approximately to: 2015 ICD-9-CM Procedure 34.52 Thoracoscopic decortication of lung Note: approximate conversions between ICD-9-CM codes and ICD-10-PCS codes may require clinical interpretation in order to determine the most appropriate conversion code (s) for your specific coding situation.
Most clients do not code the EBUS in ICD-10-PCS. For CPT this procedure is coded: 31628, Bronchoscopy, rigid or flexible, including fluoroscopic guidance, when performed, diagnostic, with cell washing, when performed; with transbronchial lung biopsy(s), single lobe. 14
For ICD-10-PCS this procedure is coded: 0BB48ZX for excision of right upper lobe bronchus via bronchoscopy for diagnostic purposes. (This includes both the endobronchial biopsies and brushings of the RUL) "Brushings" are coded to the root operation "Excision" and "lavage" is coded to the root operation "Drainage."
Post therapeutic collapse of lung status The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z98. 3 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z98.

Answer: Code 32557 describes the placement of an indwelling catheter into the pleural space with imaging guidance for drainage of air (pneumothorax), fluid or infection, and covers this procedure. Code 32551 is for “OPEN” chest tube placement, usually by a surgeon, with a large, usually about 30Fr or so chest tube.
Thoracoscopy is a procedure a doctor uses to look at the space inside the chest (outside of the lungs). This is done with a thoracoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a light and a small video camera on the end.
2022 ICD-10-PCS Procedure Code 0BTJ0ZZ.
Mechanical Pleurodesis It is mechanical abrasion (also termed dry abrasion) of the parietal pleura during thoracoscopy or thoracotomy or placement of a tunneled pleural catheter, which drains pleural fluid and may induce pleurodesis without instillation of a sclerosing agent.
Pleurodesis is a procedure that sticks your lung to your chest wall. This procedure removes the space between your lung and your chest wall (pleural space) so that fluid or air no longer builds up between the layers.
Pleurodesis offers a more permanent solution than the other common procedures for treating pleural effusions. A thoracentesis procedure drains excess fluid but does not seal the pleural space, while the insertion of a pleural catheter requires regular home maintenance, potentially for the rest of a patient's life.
A chest tube, also known as a thoracostomy tube, is a flexible tube that can be inserted through the chest wall and into the pleural space.
Like CPT codes 32556 and 32557, 32554 is for the drainage procedure without the use of radiology guidance while 32555 is for this same procedure with radiology guidance.
32555 is for puncture of the pleural space with the insertion of a needle or catheter placed for aspiration of fluid. After the procedure is complete, the catheter or needle is removed. 32557 for placement of a non-tunneled chest tube into the pleural space for drainage, and will remain in pleural space.
Well, in ICD-10-PCS there is a guideline for laparoscopic assisted procedures which instructs the coder to assign the open approach for laparoscopic assisted procedures where the laparoscope is used to assist in surgeries through small incisions.
The thoracoscope is being used to view the area, however instruments are being placed in the small incisions or ports directly, and tissues are many times being removed from these incisions/ports using video assistance provided in another port.
